A wave of relief has swept through Nollywood as Adeola, the 41-year-old daughter of veteran actress Jumoke George, who was declared missing, has been found alive and well in Mali. The breakthrough came days after the emotional appeal made by her mother during an appearance on the ‘Talk to B’ show, where she opened up about her struggles with health and family crises.
The news was confirmed late Wednesday night by the show’s host, Biola Bayo, who took to Instagram to share a video update after connecting with Adeola via video call. According to Bayo, the missing woman confirmed she was safe but had not yet contacted her mother directly. The reason for her prolonged silence remains unclear.
Jumoke George, who is currently undergoing medical treatment at a state hospital in Lagos, has reportedly expressed immense relief upon learning her daughter is alive. “She is happy, emotional, and overwhelmed by everyone’s support,” Bayo stated. The actress had earlier cried out for financial help to cover her medical bills and emotional support due to Adeola’s disappearance.
Sources close to the family say that efforts are now being made to arrange a direct reconnection between mother and daughter. Supporters of the actress and concerned fans have continued to praise Bayo and her platform for their role in amplifying the story and pushing it into the public eye.
The circumstances surrounding how Adeola ended up in Mali remain sketchy, but early reports suggest she may have traveled without informing her family, raising further questions about her well-being and what may have prompted her extended absence.
The video call, which was shared via Biola Bayo’s verified Instagram account, showed Adeola speaking calmly and appearing healthy. It marks the first time the public has seen or heard from her since she was declared missing, offering some closure to a saga that left many in suspense.
The public has been urged to continue offering support and prayers as the George family works through this emotional chapter. Jumoke George’s fans are hopeful that her ongoing medical challenges will now ease with the burden of uncertainty lifted off her shoulders.
